He gave him zakaah then the poor person gave it to him as a gift. Should he accept it?
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
If a man gives his zakaah to one who is entitled to it, then the one who took it gives it to him as a gift, should he accept it?.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
If a man gives zakaah to one who is entitled to it, then (the latter) gives it to him as a gift, there is nothing wrong with that so long as there is no prior agreement between them, but to be on the safe side he should not accept it. End quote.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
